Apple Case StudyApple, one of the world’s most successful multi technology companies was founded in 1976, later renamed Apple Inc. in 2007 to reflect its different technology focus and has since soared to the top of the technology scale. The company has come a long way and its development of the IPod and IPhone has made this company very successful. New technology that have sky rocketed over the last several years have included the IPad, the apple watch and the apple TV. These technology have done well and has made the technology market for other competitors very interesting. Samsung been a very big competitor. Never the less Apple is leading the way. Their remarkable customer service and gold standard support for all the gadgets they have, has paved the way and many consumers are easily sold on their products.    The objective, vision and mission of Apple includes meeting the world’s innovation needs, and making all technology simple. It also includes collaboration with employees to making these goals possible and a commitment to customer satisfaction and its mission to making the future advancements in technology for mankind. In addition Apple continues to invest in research and development strategies that uses marketing, advertising and consumer satisfaction to increase sale of products and technologies.
Some of the indicators from the business success includes the growth and fast expansion of not only new technology but its digital edge. “The rapid growth of applications and third-party digital content, through the iTunes Store. Apple’s app and iBook store as allowed customers to discover and download applications and books through either a Mac or Windows-based computer or through their “iOS devices,” namely iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.” (mds.marshall.edu), they have indeed made generous margins with many new technological products. Its great customer service offers great incentives and it is so individualize. Employee can feel their self-worth and they get to be a major part of the development of these new technology. Apple is also at least two years ahead of their competitors. Also, it is evident by their stocks that has extremely great value and is a great buy. (wsj.com). Their power brand and quality keeps them on the forefront of all the technology giants.
In closing, to recap, the key to your life success is to have one key thing right; drive to grow as a business. For a while, this came from the financial services world of financial managers.
The Wall Street Journal has written about this before.
Since 1987, the Wall Street Journal has written on and around the key issues in every kind of financial industry: the financial sector’s financial crisis, the world’s financial markets, its stock market, and how people earn, consume and invest in the financial services industry. With the exception of Apple, each of those two categories has suffered from a different set of problems. First and foremost, they’ve had huge trouble delivering on their promise of higher customer service – so much so, that they are unable to fully achieve what is expected of them, from the outset, because they are short-changed, underfunded and overly burdened with liabilities. The financial services company, the financial services company in general has a financial problem that has to be solved because, at the very least, it will require a lot of money and so it has to work together with the rest of it.
Another major issue in the first quarter of this year is the continued growth of traditional asset management services, which was already booming during the second quarter of this year, led by Microsoft as the sole provider of new services. The problem isn’t a simple one; the real problem with these investment services is that they can only be conducted directly by a single issuer. Instead, the two firms need to work with separate vendors to deliver an open, independent product.
I said earlier that my previous analysis of the market for financial services was flawed. As far as I can tell, no one even thought of investing in any of these companies. But I wanted to show how much I understand the problems of one large financial service provider and how little I understand the problems of another. This is how they worked.
I mentioned earlier that I used to work at the Wall Street Journal.
In other markets, like Japan, where we have high stock prices and the Japanese investment market makes great investments by default (mostly on paper, but not often), and which is one of the main problems of the Japanese financial services system (which, although it is not a financial center, is a global player), my main industry job was as a financial analyst covering the financial markets and real estate. I wrote about it in the Wall Street Journal two years ago.
A recent survey at the Credit Suisse Global Research Institute of Financial Experts showed that the proportion of those living in poverty in China rose to 30 percent in 2011, rising to 40 percent in 2012 and 35 percent in 2013. Overall, this has helped to increase the proportion of high income people in China whose income is about equal to what the incomes of the median household in the country is.
Another reason I’m not saying China has an exceptional economic situation is that China is only one of 15 states that has to deal with some of the most complex problems of financial governance and regulation in the world.
As far as we know, at the time of writing China is not suffering terribly from the financial or economic crisis of the past year, but it is not a country that faces a major crisis of its own.
But what about the third issue being an ongoing problem, namely the failure of investors to realize the upside of the China stock market? After I said that last week, I heard from a number of investors and analysts that the S&P 500 was experiencing a serious risk of not being able to grow much and that the “next big wave of high growth” would have to hit some key key components of the Shanghai Composite Index before the market would be free of its potential problems that investors had been anticipating.
